Game 5 - Jazz at Mavs - 8:30 CT on TNT

[EricaLubarsky]

12-0

Now 14-2

[Melonhead]

I’m sick of watching clarkson score

[EricaLubarsky]

Spence may suck but he gets you timely buckets

[Stylistic]

needed that basket from Brunson

[BPo001]

I think I’d rather have Green on Clarkson

[EricaLubarsky]

Conley 5
Gobert 5

[Dallas41]

Just have never seen this team since 2011 play this type of playoff defense

And like how they didn't make this game about the ref's they just played through everything, and the calls balanced out.

[Stylistic]

good timeout. the offense has looked poor to start this quarter.

[JTmoney2424]

Green is next to useless on offense. Still not sure why he even tries to shoot a 3. They aren’t even close. Pass or drive is his game.

[ShaggyDirk]

Go Mavs!

[Dallas41]

I keep waiting on Dinwiddie to knock down shots

He's had a god-awful shooting series.

Maybe game 6 he finally explodes when we less expect it

[EricaLubarsky]

Outscored by 5 in 5 min of the fourth

At this pace they’ll scrape another 7 off

Last time he hesitated on a three, Kidd yanked him immediately.

[BPo001]

You gotta toss Whiteside. No need for that shit now

[BPo001]

Luka tried to snatch a body with that one haha

[Melonhead]

Come on now

[JTmoney2424]

That’s BS that Bullock got a T too.

[Melonhead]

I really don’t see Whiteside did anything wrong

[Stylistic]

Bullock should be out too right?

And no, I don't think Whiteside did anything wrong.

[BPo001]

Mitchell grabbing his knee? Maybe his hamstring. Headed to the locker room.

[EricaLubarsky]

Mitchell “injured”

I think Luka sold it a little bit by hitting the floor so aggressively like he was thrown down. Whiteside pushing DFS was technical worthy.

It was the shove on the way down

The contact up top was fine

He sits the next game, and buys a one way ticket out of town this summer.

[BPo001]

Bobi time?

[Melonhead]

I mean it’s good Spence can dribble but man it’s a whole lot of nothing in the end.

[Melonhead]

I’m not a fan of the way Boban is like some novelty item.

yeah i second that - he's a baller - glad the fans cheer him but they shouldn't be feeding him just to get him shots. run the damn offense. show some respect

[EricaLubarsky]

Thursday Tap has a job

[Dallas41]

I actually hope Mitchell plays because he's struggled all series with his 3-pt shot

If he sits that worries me a little because Clarkson has been better than him IMO.

Plus, he's a bad defender so you want him on the floor to keep having those blow buys by the Mavs on him.

[Dallas41]

Mavs held Utah to the lowest 3-PT % in NBA playoff history 10%

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Fuck ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's close this shit out! Ok, it's still going 7, but I'd like for it not to. K?

GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DevinHarriswillstart]

So again, Clarkson played well, but you live with it as long as the rest are stinkers. They finally contained Bogdan who was awful.

[Dallas41]

Good to see D.Mitchell giving DFS major prop's

Said DFS has been done an incredible job making it tough on him.

He was busting on the defense side, I think it tired him out a little bit

[Melonhead]

Call me crazy I think Mitchell just wanted to gfto of the game. Tbh he had no reason to be in down 28 with 4 min left. Think he’ll be fine for game 6

[Lestat_1795]

I got what my nerves wished for before this game. A blow out! Thanks Mavs.

[washedklean77]

Goodness! The Mavs shoot 28% from three and win by 25 points. Incredible!

[SMC0007]

Great win. Such good defense

[Dallas41]

Why doesn't DFS get more attention for all defensive team?


Mitchell is shooting 37 percent from the floor and 19 percent from three in this series after a Game 5 showing where he was 4-of-15 from the floor and missed all seven of his three pointers. Dorian Finney-Smith has been glued to Mitchell’s hip, pestering him at the three point line and using his length to contest almost everything inside the arc. As much as the Mavericks have thrived on offense despite Doncic’s absence, the defense, and particularly Finney-Smith, deserve deeper consideration. So many times in the past a small, trigger happy guard would torch the Mavericks and their conservative drop coverage. The Mavericks coaching staff has Finney-Smith more aggressive than ever before and it’s working
